GENIUS SCIENCE
Instilling in learners an understanding of biology, chemistry and physics is an audacious undertaking that few education centers have succeeded in, as one of the basic questions of epistemology that concerns the nature of scientific knowledge needs to be addressed. Here at Genius, we endeavor to tackle this problem by arousing the curiosity of children, with topics ranging from the evolution of animals and plants over the geological timescale, to the design and fabrication of integrated circuits on silicon wafers. We have over 200 scientific themes and 5,000 experiments that truly encapsulate the central concept of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In Genius classrooms, we have something for every child, no matter what early predilection he or she may display.
Our teachers are all subject matter experts and well versed in the curriculum of international examinations such as IGCSE, A-Level and IB. We understand the importance of perspective-taking, which is about being able to look at the subject matter from the point of view of the students. It allows us to better explore a subject with the students and make learning much more effective and efficient with considerably less effort.
OUR APPROACH
Course structure designed to arouse the curiosity of children and prepare them for all future international exams.
WE BELIEVE
Every one of our students has the potential to become a prominent medical professional, or a world-class researcher at the frontiers of science, and receive the most prestigious awards in their respective fields (Nobel prize, Wolf prize, Lasker prize, Edison award, etc.)
BIOLOGY
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Appreciating our place and responsibilities within the amazing biodiversity of the Earth
Developing students' understanding of characteristic ways in which biological scientists work, think and reason.
